General Conference - Sunday Morning Solemn Assembly

President Nelson has called a Solemn Assembly today that will include the Hosanna Shout. Commemorating the 200th anniversary of the First Vision.


Conducting: President Dallin H. Oaks


Tabernacle Choir: How Firm a Foundation


Prayer: Brook P. Hales, Seventy


Tabernacle Choir: This is my Beloved Son, Hear Him


Ronald A Rasband, Quorum of the Twelve
Daniel saw our day in vision and prophesied that the Lord's Church would rise as a small stone. Members are divine witnesses to prophecies from long ago. Many prophets spoke of our day. 168 temples on the earth now with 49 in progress. We are the people charged with the ushering in of Christ's Second Coming. We are one people regardless how we dress or look. In two years, President Nelson has traveled to 32 countries and territories.


Bonnie H. Cordon, General Young Women President
We can be filled with the light of the Savior. Let our light shine. "That they may see." Do it for others. Chicken story - Elder Perry went out with her to feed the chickens. Need to see the path. Shine the light so others can see the path, too. The Savior will bring the light if we just point others to Him.


Jeffrey R. Holland, Quorum of the Twelve
What was once only hoped for has now become history. (The Restoration and all its blessings.) Love God by keeping His counsel; love our neighbors. Hope. God does work in this world. We can hope and should hope even when the odds seem insurmountable. This was a powerful talk.


Tabernacle Choir: Now Let Us Rejoice


Elder David A. Bednar, Quorum of the Twelve
Sealing authority is necessary. Binds earthly things in heaven. The word "heart" is used over a thousand times in the scriptures. Changing, turning, and purifying is the Lord's work. Temple ordinances bless those on both sides of the veil. The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. World changes human behavior; Christ changes human nature. Ordinances open the channels of heaven so that God's power can flow into us.  Temple work hastening.


Tabernacle Choir: Israel, Israel, Gid is Calling


President Russell M. Nelson, Prophet
Tribulation makes the light of Christ shine even brighter. This pandemic is an opportunity to share our light. What does it mean to me that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth? The truths of the gospel are an anchor to our souls while the tempest is raging. When we are surrounded by uncertainty and fear, what will help us most is to hear His Son. Hearken --> Hear Him! Heed what He has told us. Daily immersion in the scripture is crucial for spiritual survival. We can also hear Him in the temple. Increase our work in Family History while we cannot go to the temple. It has never been more imperative to know how the spirit speaks to you than right now.

Only five proclamations have been issued thus far in the history of the Church. Read The BiCentennial Proclamation to the World from the Sacred Grove.


Tabernacle Choir: Hosanna Anthem


Tabernacle Choir & Worldwide Congregation: The Spirit of God Like a Fire is Burning


Prayer: Elder Peter M. Johnson, Seventy
